Alphabet Sorting

At the light table this week I drew up a grid on a piece of calico and wrote the the letters of the alphabet in every square (you could use paper, card or any material). I then used anything from nature that I could write the alphabet on. Once you start looking your realise that there are loads of resources right at your fingertips. All of these nuts and leaves were found on the ground at the park across the road from my house. Don't you just love a resource that costs nothing! The gum nuts have been used before on the blog "Bringing Nature Inside".

Washing Fun!

The washing line is one of our favourite things to play with at outside time. Today I put out the usual pieces of material but added thin strips of stretchy fabric. They loved washing the thin strips - it was a much more interesting sensory experience and was a fabulous fine motor activity as it was about the same width as the peg.

I absolutely love this post -- the light table alphabet sorting using natural materials and the washing line outside. :) I've popped over from Sugar Aunts' Share it Saturday. If you're interested, I'd love for you to come link up at Stress-Free Sunday. :)

What a fun way to practice some hands on math! I am featuring this on TGIF today here: http://www.123homeschool4me.com/2013/04/tgif-linky-party-72.html - feel free to grab an I was featured button if you like.

Thanks for linking up and I hope to see you linked up again soon!!Have a great weekend,Beth =)

Hello Nicola - you are going to giggle but I have been using a calico cotton grid on the back of my white sheet these last few months: great for all sorts of maths games. So I love your approach for a light table literacy application.

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog!

An Idea on Tuesday was born as I am an Early Childhood Teacher and my working week starts on Tuesday.

I am passionate about teaching and don't like repeating activities so I am constantly looking for new ideas which I often try out first with my three beautiful children. All of these ideas can be adapted for various ages and for use in the classroom or at home.

In my spare time I love decorating my home and entertaining. I would love to share some of these ideas with you as well.
